To be honest, game dev has been super slow this month... Anyone else trapped in the indie dev loop? Client work = Money for the game, but ZERO time to build it. No client work = All the time in the world, but NO money. Huge thanks to HNLamb for the gorgeous key visual! #OtomeGame

Meet Xuan Yi — High Chancellor of the Nether Court. A thousand-year-old Ghost King turned deity, devoid of mortal emotions. Sporting dual-toned black-and-white hair and languid traditional attire, his piercing gaze still hints at his spectral past. What's his true story? #OtomeGame

WE ARE REWRITING! Writing an Otome game with Taiwanese folklore is a tough balancing act between gameplay, lore, and comedy. But as our mentor said: "Just make it captivating." Back to the grind. Here’s Zhi-Yuan's front concept sketch to soothe the pain! #IndieDev #OtomeGame

A noble lord brings two squires along on a hunt. One is a gentle boy who should not exist. 🌟 The other is a girl who dreams of plunging a dagger into her master’s heart. 🗡️ Trail of Stars, my short, (bitter)sweet fairy tale visual novel, is out on steam! 🌟 store.steampowered.com/app/4006140/...

Cover art for Trail of Stars showing the two squires sitting back to back looking up at the sky.

Screenshot of two figures on horseback silhouetted in the woods. The artstyle is paper cut out and storybook inspired.
"They trotted along behind the main party, she on a chestnut stallion, he on a white mare."

Screenshot of a starry sky with a half moon and foliage framing the screen.
"The magic of the woods had run dry; the boughs no longer sheltered them with their sanctuary."

Screenshot of cropped artwork of the girl running while the boy reaches for her hand.
"The way he always did when she was sick or afraid."

Grateful for the interview from DCAT at NYCU. We talked about love, tech, and companionship— from the emotions in otome games to romance in the age of AI. “Why are otome games so captivating?” Because in that world, love always replies.
